I see (partly - I'd be curious if the problem was due to environment variable passed by ssh, or some quirk in the tty modes). But I rarely have more than 2-3 terminal windows up, using screen to combine the related connections.
...except for the odd comment about the unexpected escape character
echoing when you press up-arrow? That's puzzling, unless you are using
similar shells, with only one honoring cursor keys for editing, e.g,. csh vs
tcsh.
Well, you did say you launch xterm from a script, which is on the client machine.
It's reasonably likely that the problem can be fixed within the script.
By the way, the comment about xterm logging to file sounds as if
you're using the flavor from the freeware cd, rather than the one
that Sun installs by default. You can verify that by seeing if
"xterm -v" prints a version number.
Your problem with xterm sounds like something that can be fixed,
with a little investigation. The usual mismatches with Linux vs Solaris
are for the backspace/delete keys, but this isn't that one. More
likely it's a mismatch for the terminal description (what TERM is set to).
